Danger: Hepatitis B Vaccine! > by Patti White, RN > > Our school districts have had a significant increase in the number of > children > entering school with developmental disorders, learning disabilities, > attention deficit disorders and/or serious chronic illness such as > diabetes, asthma and seizure disorders. Each of the past four years > has been worse than the year before. There is only one common thread > we can identify in all these children: they are the children who > received the first trial hepatitis B injections as newborns in the > early 1990s.
